View 3 RepliesI have a select that must be named starting with an underscore, and i am trying to get this working with a script of which this function is a part:
function expandone(){
if (document.getElementById){
var selectedItem=document.product._verse.selectedIndex
contractall()
document.getElementById("dropmsg"+selectedItem).style.display="block"
}
This works perfectly if i remove the underscore from the select name and the
'document.product._verse.selectedIndex' line, but the select really needs that underscore for my shopping cart script.
I can work without this, but it is perfect for what i want, which is text (verses) showing when the customer scrolls through a select.
Are underscores not allowed in this context regarding the function above?
I suppose not, as it won't work with it.
I am not very profficient with javascript.
Is there a way round this so that i can leave the underscore in the select?
What I have is a file upload input (as part of a larger form) and I want to get some javascript that will replace spaces in a filename with another character, such as an underscore or dash. If possible, I would also like to be able to replace commas with an underscore or dash.

I"m using [URL] for the line breaking of the link-names. It works wonderfull if the link is hyphenated like my-loooooooooooooooooooooooong-link-name, but ignores if it is with undescore.
How can one add a support the line breaking by underscore?
for example: my_loooooooooooooooooooooooong_link_name
will be:
my_loooooooooooooooo
oooooooong_link_name
Could somebody please confirm that if I change my JS expression test from:
if (!(/^[a-zA-Z0-9]*$/.test(document.form1.fred.value)))
to
if (!(/^[a-zA-Z0-9-_]*$/.test(document.form1.fred.value)))
(in other words I've added the hyphen and underscore after the 9)
then I'm allowing the hyphen and underscore as valid chars like a-z 0-9, but
nothing else.
It appears to work, but I don't know if I've screwed up the whole test
rather just the chars I want to add.
I have written a function for accepting name and should be atleast minimum 4 characters. It is accepting all characters including special characters. Now i want my function to accept only a-z0-9 and _(underscore),-(hyphen) and .(dot) Below is my function

I'm trying to figure out reading XML into Javascript, and, frustrating as that is alone, what really boggles my mind is Mozilla's default NOT to ignore whitespace! I realize this may have its applications, but for the sake of my sanity (not to mention being cross-browser), I NEED to parse my XML document WITHOUT whitespace!
All I want to do essentially, is read in an XML document that has, let's say, 100 or so <character> nodes off the root, and output their text values into the HTML. Not so hard right? But if I make an XML document that I can actually READ (so that I don't go insane), I'm going to wind up with much more than 100 nodes thanks to reading in the whitespace... what can I do about this?
I've seen custom functions that will remove the whitespace nodes for me, but certainly there's an easier way to do this?!?
I'm creating a preview function that opens a new window, and then writes the values of the text fields, now my script is below, but I need to be able to make sure that the enters/breaks/carriage returns are kept when calling this page. The data I require to keep these breaks is an text area. Code:

var illegalChars = /W/; // allow letters, numbers, and underscores
I'm trying to access the source of an HTML page with as few alterations
from the actual source (as in, that seen from the View Source option)
as I can. The method document.documentElement.innerHTML returns the
HTML source, but adds HEAD and other elements if they are absent from
the source, and takes out whitespace (i.e., line feeds, carriage
returns and tabs) within tags and between tags. The follow function:
function xhr() {
xhr = new XMLHttpRequest()
xhr.open("GET","test-page.html",true);
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xhr.readyState==4) {
alert(xhr.responseText);
}
}
xhr.send(null)
}
doesn't add or alter any tags that are absent in the source, and does
not take out line feeds within tags; it does, however, still take out
all non-line-feed whitespace within tags and all whitespace in general
between tags.
It seems that preserving whitespace is all that I need, but I haven't
found a way to do that through my searches. So is there any way to get
the unaltered HTML source of a page without innerHTML or applets, like
a better version of the XMLHttpRequest object's responseText method?
I am toying around with this great plugin and want to use a css class with a whitespace in it. Can I do this somehow? If I use "error message" as errorClass it wont remove the error messages. But if I use "error-messages" it works, why is that?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a JavaScript string. I want to replace all consecutive
occurrences of whitespace characters like spaces, tabs, newlines, and
form feeds with another string.
For example, say I have a string consisting of:
-- 3 spaces
-- The characters "hello"
-- 2 newline (
) characters
-- The characters "goodbye"
-- 5 spaces
After applying some sort of regular expression to replace consecutive
occurrences of whitespace chars with the string "X", the string should
consist of the following:
-- The character "X"
-- The characters "hello"
-- The character "X"
-- The characters "goodbye"
-- The character "X"
How could I do this using regular expressions? I'm quite familiar with
JavaScript but don't know anything about regular expressions or using
them in JavaScript, so please show me step-by-step how it's done.
The following works in Chrome:
But this doesn't
The only difference is the space between 'input' and '[type=checkbox]'
Both versions work in FF and IE.
I currently have a <p> where it changes to a textarea when a button is clicked How do I preserve the whitespace when saving that text to a database and displaying back to a <p>?

This script is intended to remove whitespace text nodes from a document. These nodes show up far more often than we want to admit, and leads to a DOM that is different in Mozilla than IE.
Make sure you use this only in documents where whitespace is expendable. XHTML documents are among these, as are MathML expressions and SVG images.
Theoretically, whitespace can be significant in some XML documents.
I would like to create a program which converts some letters into different ones.
1) I want 2 text areas (input and output) + "convert" button
2) if I type in the input area the letters "ea" I would like it to be converted into "a", so that If I type "cambrea" and press "submit" the output text will have "cambra".
3) if I type "e " which is (e+space) I want it to be converted into " " which is "space" example: if I type the word "spine " it should be converted into "spin , note that there is a space after "spin ".
4) If I type any vowel before "o" it should render "o", example: gambuo becomes gambo.
would this be possible? I'm not very familiar with Javascript even though I can modify it.

Major JQuery noob here. I'm working on a directory for a client's site and for some reason, in Firefox, the page is running really long with extra whitespace at the bottom where each tabbed div should end.[URL]...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having difficulty using javascript to validate form fields with whitespaces in the element names (ex: First Name, Last Name).
here's a code snippet:
###
function validate(formObj) {
if (document.form1.Payment Method.checked){
do something here...}
###
the problem is that javascript won't read the element "Payment Method" unless i mash the name into one word. (i don't want to do that because i later use the element names to provide a printable customer receipt
i tried using the ascii octal number for a whitespace in the above code (...form1.Payment40Method.checked...), but to no avail.
I am using the youtube chromeless player and embeding videos with loadVideoById() method problem is that videos with an id that contains an underscore or dash dont play although they play in the normal player. I also tried replacing with a hex value in querystring i.e (%5f) but that did not work I also tried loadVideoByUrl() method with several urls but still they don't load. here is my code
function switchToPlayer(ytid){
var params = { allowScriptAccess: "always"};
var atts = { id: ytid,onmouseover: "this.playVideo()",onmouseout: "this.pauseVideo()"};
swfobject.embedSWF("http://www.youtube.com/apiplayer?border=0&enablejsapi=1&playerapiid="+ytid, 'cell'+ytid, "150", "120", "8", "scripts/expressInstall.swf",null,params,atts);

I am using the jquery validation plugin to validate a form's email address field. The validation works but with the minor exception that when trailing whitespace is entered after the email the validation fails. I'm not sure if this is because of the regexp or a missing trim.
